The People's Epic
This podcast examines life. Exploring and celebrating individuals who have made the most of their time on this planet. The creators, adventurers and down right kick ass souls. We leave room for the good, the bad and the not so glamourous parts of life. As well as the four-legged and fictional. We will learn from those who have done it before us and see what gems we can glean from their stories.
